The dust settled, revealing its true form.
A heavily armored mechanical left arm, several times thicker than an arm, was now tightly gripping Lune's fist. The high-density Taibo Alloy was dark and cold, filled with the color of steel.
Han Xiao, who was controlling this giant mechanical arm, was already wearing the Viper Modified, a streamlined, form-fitting, jet-black mecha suit, yet his muscles bulged out like a human's.
Everyone was stunned.
What is this?
Han Xiao's right hand, which wasn't wearing a mechanical arm, suddenly grabbed Lune's arm. Lune tried to break free, but found that Han Xiao's strength had become equal to his own, and for a moment he couldn't break free, which greatly alarmed him.
The Viper Mod provides an additional eighty points of Strength and nearly fifty points of Agility, making Han Xiao's current Strength, Agility, and Endurance stats comparable to any martial artist below level sixty!
Lune was still assessing the gap between the two sides as before, and was suddenly caught off guard.
With a roar, Han Xiao's heavy mechanical arm slammed down on Lune 'Lune head, slamming it into the ground and driving it repeatedly like a pile driver, rapidly widening the crater.

[Note: I'll punch you in the head!]
Since he was acting alone, Han Xiao's equipment pack contained all his trump cards. He disassembled the heavy-duty mechanical arm into parts, making it easy to carry and quick to assemble, allowing it to be rapidly deployed in the event of an encounter.
Seeing Lune being humiliated on the ground, Vanessa was filled with shock and anger and rushed over. Han Xiao neither dodged nor avoided her and engaged in close combat with Vanessa. His punches and kicks contained tremendous force, and the ground cracked inch by inch.
The External Wave is a mid-range technique with insufficient destructive power; it barely scratches the mech. The Viper Mod's powerful mode has a clear advantage.
The two were incredibly agile, their exchange happening in the blink of an eye. To onlookers, they appeared as two blurry figures entangled, with only the constant explosions and the surrounding environment being shattered by the aftershocks revealing just how dangerous their encounter was.
The black fist Heavy Strike Vanessa's face several times in succession, causing her nose to bleed profusely.
At the same time, Lune finally pulled himself out of the ground, his head bleeding profusely. He roared and pounced, but halfway there, Han Xiao suddenly punched Vanessa aside, took the Ghost Gauss Sniping Rifle folded and embedded in his back with his right hand, and aimed it at Lune from a distance.
The Black Hole muzzle of the gun exuded an even more dangerous aura than before.
Lune's hair stood on end!
Han Xiao abruptly pulled the trigger.
[Willpower Burning!]
[Lethal Critical Hit]!
[Overload]!
This shot was his most lethal attack to date!

This is combat power at max skill level!
Bang--
A huge cavity appeared in Lune's chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
[You dealt 1942 damage to Lune (lv58)] (Damage reduction has been calculated)
Extremely close to 2000 points of damage!
Keep in mind that Lune's health is only between four and five thousand points!
One shot, and almost half a barrel of blood was gone!
Lune knelt on the ground, his body limp and convulsing. He raised his head and stared directly at Han Xiao, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief.
"You seemed to have said you wanted to smear my brains on the floor?" A cold, mechanical voice came from behind the mask, devoid of any emotion.
Han Xiao pressed Lune to the ground with his right hand, and his left mechanical arm slammed heavily into Lu En's head. Lune was weakened and paralyzed by this shot. Without the strength to protect himself, the steel kissed his skull again and again, tearing his skin and flesh, shattering his bones and mincing his flesh.
The splattered blood stained the ground and the robotic arm.
Han Xiao sprang up with both legs, leaping high into the air with the mechanical arm, before crashing down vertically to the ground with a loud bang, sending dust flying into the sky, red and white splattering everywhere. Lune's eyes gradually lost their luster.
[You killed Lune (lv58), you gained 175,000 experience!]
[One Shot, One Kill] Feat, unlock progress 43/50]
"Lune— " Vanessa screamed, her voice filled with shrillness, resentment, and rage, and then... she turned and ran.
The Black Phantom was unexpectedly strong. She didn't want to die; only by surviving could she possibly take revenge.
"So, isn't it better to be alive?" Han Xiao shook his head, unfastened the buttons on the heavy mechanical arm, and the huge steel arm crashed to the ground. Han Xiao gave a command, and the armor on his left and right sides suddenly slid open, revealing a row of densely packed small holes, from which dozens of thin, arrow-shaped black shadows shot out, landing around Vanessa and detonating one after another, emitting ear-piercing high-frequency sound waves.
These are all miniaturized versions of the Sonic Boom Grenade. Han Xiao made them into smaller arrow-shaped versions and then added a simple launching module to the Viper Mod, which allows it to release these portable and practical control weapons.
The Sonic Boom Grenade's attribute is stamina. Although Vanessa is a martial artist, she couldn't withstand dozens of Sonic Boom Grenade and collapsed to the ground in pain.
With a few leaps, Han Xiao activated his dual-armored electrothermal cutting gauntlets, gouged out Vanessa's eye sockets, and then turned on the "Sunworm" flamethrower on his wrist. Amidst screams and the smell of burning, Vanessa was quickly turned into a charred corpse. Vanessa's struggles and counterattacks before her death were all withstood by the Viper Modified armor.
Han Xiao released his grip, letting the corpse fall to the ground. He activated the mech's various scanning modules and, through scent analysis, outlined the Hidden Demon's silhouette on the scanning panel. The demon was currently lying in the area where the Sonic Boom Grenade had exploded, convulsing in pain.
The Hidden Demon was terrified by Han Xiao. Only a few months had passed since their last encounter, and the Black Phantom had already reached a height that left him speechless. He deeply regretted taking on this job and quickly decided to back out. Unfortunately, while trying to escape, he was knocked over by the aftershock of the explosion.
"Saves me a lot of trouble." Han Xiao broke Hidden Demon's limbs, then pulled out a miniature locator and roughly stabbed it into Hidden Demon's body. He then slapped him unconscious and nodded in satisfaction. "That way he won't get lost."
The entire scene was a mess, and a large number of Overmela's onlookers gathered there, all looking terrified, frightened by Han Xiao's ruthless methods.
The resurrected player stood in the distance, his throat dry.
"This... is so powerful!" Bamboo Rain Xuanxuan exclaimed in amazement. She had just recorded the entire battle video and had a feeling that this footage would definitely go viral.
Black Phantom has never shown his mecha. All the impressive displays they've seen are just the tip of the iceberg; this is his true strength!
No, perhaps the Black Phantom is hiding something more.
The Bamboo Rain Guild became excited, feeling they had discovered information unknown to others. Among all the players, only they had encountered this unexpected event. Bamboo Rain Xuanxuan recorded the entire incident and was extremely excited.
Lagos looked terrified, his jaw trembling and his legs shaking uncontrollably. The three powerful figures he had placed his hopes on had been easily killed. If it were based on Black Phantom's original fighting strength, Lune and the other two would have been a sure thing. But who knew that he had such a terrifying trump card hidden in his hands!
"How is this possible? Lune and the other two are top-tier superhumans, long-established legends. I've asked professionals, how could Black Phantom's strength possibly kill them so easily!" Lagos exclaimed in disbelief.
Without his support, facing the menacing Black Phantom, Lagos felt weak all over, his regret beyond words.
Han Xiao walked over to Lagos, patted Lagos on the shoulder, and said softly, "I've already let you off this time."
"You can't kill me!" Lagos said, his voice trembling with fear. "I'm the head of our Main Family Faction. If you kill me, our clan..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Swish—a sharp blade sliced across the neck, and blood gently splattered.
They acted without hesitation.
Lagos stared wide-eyed, clutched his neck, and collapsed. Temperature dropped with the flow of blood, hissing as his trachea hissed. He looked up at Han Xiao in disbelief.
Han Xiao glanced at the startled high-ranking members of his Main Family Faction, toying with the bloodstained Blades, and calmly asked, "Do you have any objections?"
